Colleges usually send their admissions decisions to applicants in mid-March, either by e-mail or US mail. However, this year it seems that many will be sending their “accepts” and “regrets” a bit later – on or about April 1. After Tulane’s and Columbia’s snafus earlier in this year’s admissions season (they accidentally sent acceptance letters to denied applicants), perhaps other admissions offices decided to take a few extra days to double-check and triple-check their systems!
